Hajj Badal is when someone gets a compulsory Hajj performed on someone’s behalf by another person. Hajj Badal may be performed for another due to an ongoing illness for which there is no hope of a cure, or because of old age, or because the person has already passed away without completing the obligatory ‘Hajj.
Umrah Badal (also known as Omra Badal, Badal Omra, etc.) is a voluntary act of ‘ibaadah (worship) with immense rewards. If completed in Ramadan, reward equals that of performing Hajj with the Prophet – pbuh. Umrah Badal can be completed (as often as the heart desires) on behalf of deceased or terminally ill Muslims.
Qualified students of knowledge from Umm Al Qurra University, Daar Al Hadeeth in Makkah, or Islamic University of Madinah will be appointed to perform the hajj badal or umrah badal on your behalf.
We are working hard to provide small video clips of the person performing Hajj on behalf of your loved ones. We are committed to striving hard to be able to provide video as proof of completion of Hajj. We will do our best to organize this but no guarantee. Sometimes images/videos of some of the hajj are not received due to logistical challenges.
Please indicate your desire to receive such proof and we will try our best. BaarakAllahu feekum.
Hajj Badal and Umrah Badal are allowed under certain conditions by all four madhahib (schools of thought). The various proofs of regarding their permissibility can be found in their respective sections on our website. Please click the links to be taken to corresponding pages: Hajj Badal, Umrah Badal. You can also speak to your local Imam should you have specific questions. For your convenience, the links are provided below:
In sha Allah, Umrah Badal can be performed on behalf of deceased or terminally ill Muslims whether they performed ‘Umrah or ‘Hajj by themselves or not.
‘Umrah Badals are generally completed within 1 week of receiving the request. You can contact us to confirm if it has been completed or not. We currently do not mail any certificates for this. However, should you wish, we are able to issue electronic certificates confirming that ‘Umrah Badal has been completed.
After the Hajj is completed, we will then send you a certificate by mail with the name of the person who performed the Hajj Badal and a certified stamp. This is to give you written proof and assurance that the Hajj Badal has been successfully completed. Typically, this is sent out within one month of completion of ‘Hajj. You don’t need to contact us to receive this certificate. It is issued to everyone and mailed out through regular mails from Toronto, Canada.
‘Umrah Badals are generally completed within 1 week of receiving the request. We will send a small video clip of the person performing Umrah stating the name of the individual on whose behalf Umrah is completed.
We currently do not mail any certificates for this. However, should you wish, we are able to issue electronic certificates confirming that ‘Umrah Badal has been completed.
Starting 2022, we have started making Udhiya mandatory as often we may end up doing Hajj Tamattu’ or Qiran and Udhiya is a requirement for those two types of Hajj. Udhiya is only optional for Hajj ‘Ifraad.
We organize udhiya every year in Makkah and distribute the meat to the poor locally. If a family decides not to organize Udhiya with us, they must organize it themselves locally or internationally.
Our policy is to not provide any name, phone, e-mail, or physical address of students performing ‘hajj / ‘umrah. Please understand that they are busy with their studies and have family obligations like all of us. In the past, we have had some bad experiences where some people kept badgering students for an extended period of time. To avoid giving rise to unfortunate circumstances, we have decided to not to share information. Names of the students performing ‘Hajj Badal will be mentioned in the certificates issued. Also, students are selected/finalized for ‘Hajj Badal post-Ramadan. We start assigning ‘hajj badals 1 month before ‘Hajj so it is not possible for us to share specific details.
We take this responsibility seriously and do our utmost to ensure that students have the right intentions, qualifications, and information to execute this heavy burden. This is a serious matter as it relates to the aakhirah (hereafter) and Taqwa of Allah is essential. For this reason, we have an Imam who individually interviews each student prior to appointing/allocating them for ‘Hajj Badal. We ourselves, our families, and friends regularly use this service so we share and understand your concern and have taken necessary steps to ensure proper execution of your requests.
We thank you for your understanding and kind cooperation.

Please note that often some things are out of our hand. Given the geography of where ‘Hajj is performed, it is often difficult to find a diverse group of people who might qualify to perform ‘Hajj Badal for your loved ones. We have strict requirements for people to qualify for ‘Hajj Badal and ‘Umrah Badal – strong knowledge of the rites of ‘Hajj & Umrah being the top priority. Our goal is to ensure ‘Hajj Badal and ‘Umrah Badal are performed according the tradition of our Prophet (peace be upon him).
Please note that there are no major differences between various Sunni Schools of Thoughts (madhahib) when it comes to rites of ‘Hajj or ‘Umrah. The scholars might have differences in solutions to problems that might arise during ‘Hajj or ‘Umrah but there is no dispute over their tenets or pillars.

We do not provide any discounts. All advertised gift prices are final. Kindly refrain from asking for any discounts as it creates an odd and uncomfortable situation for us. We are not here to make riches from this; if that was our intention, our gift options would have costed much more (like other service providers)! Our gift prices are kept low in order to promote this beautiful gift for those who are gone but not forgotten. Please ask yourself, if you passed away without performing ‘hajj, would you’ve liked your loved ones NOT booking a ‘hajj badal for you just because they didn’t get a discount? Our parents, relatives, and friends have done so much for us. Let’s try to give them the ultimate gift when they need it the most!
No, we do not match prices of other service providers. For us, it’s not about the “amount”, rather it’s about the value we provide. Every organization providing similar services have slightly different operation and cost model. So prices are expected to vary from service provider to service provider.
Of course it would be an honour for us to be able to facilitate this blessed act of worship for you / your family. However, should you choose to go with another service provider – we hope and pray that Allah accepts it from you and reward your loved ones with the ajr of accepted ‘Hajj.
Please note that we offer flexible payment options at no extra cost. You may make instalment payments if you are unable to make the payment at once.

We have a group of Imams from all across the globe on our advisory board. These Imams ensure that everything is completed in accordance with the quran and sunnah and in the best of manners possible inshaAllah.
We understand that trust is difficult to establish – even between family members, let alone with others. Some people might have had bad experiences dealing with Muslim organizations and service providers. We are no different than you. We understand and feel your pain! It is rather unfortunate that many Muslims fall into cheating, deception, and lies when dealing with other Muslims. Perhaps this is because they don’t really understand this ayah: والآخرة خير لك من الأولى (and the Hereafter is much better than what comes before it – i.e. this world).
What we can assure you is that we are not strangers to the community. Our team has over a decade of leadership experience in community programs – locally in Canada and worldwide. They are well known individuals to various scholars and Imams in Canada, USA, UK, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, etc. Please visit our “Trusted By” section to see some of the Imams who love our services and know us personally.
We also welcome in-person meeting with locals and phone/skype calls with anyone around the world.
